I can't imagine that it wouldn't detect viruses that are typically 
native to Windows machines (me thinks, it wouldn't have much use 
otherwise).  I use a NAI product and it works just fine on most any 
Linux distribution I've tried it on.  It shouldn't take but a few 
minutes to determine if ClamAV will work for you, just do a quick 
scan of your mail directories and I'd be very surprised if you didn't 
see a virus or two unless you filter them out first.
